LOVE & PAWS RESCUE
Founded in 2019, Love & Paws Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit dog rescue organization run by volunteers and funded by donations. We are based in Fort Worth, Texas and work to save the most at-risk dogs in our community whether they are strays, owner surrenders, or in shelters. We work tirelessly to not only save lives, but change them for the better.
In January 2024, we closed our intake to focus on the dogs currently in our care. Several had been on our roster for more than a year, and with the continued decline in fosters and volunteers, we felt it would be a significant disservice to them if we continue to take on more. While the decision allowed us to help several of our long-timers find their forever home, 2024 also brought over 25 adoption returns (many of whom were adopted out over a year ago). It became a revolving door- one dog out, another one in. The cycle felt like it would never end. We developed a new approach to adoption screenings, brought in a trainer to support the dogs with specific needs, and finally found our groove again.
​
As we entered 2025, we finally felt some relief being down to 6 dogs on our roster. We are now down to 4! We remain committed to the dogs currently in our care AND those who have found their forever homes through us. They are forever a Love & Paws dog, cat, or pig.
